Daytona International Speedway is one of three superspeedways to hold NASCAR races, the other two being Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.[2] The standard track at Daytona International Speedway is a four-turn superspeedway that is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) long. The track's turns are banked at 31 degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is banked at 18 degrees.[3]
Qualifying was based on a metric qualifying system based on the previous race, the 2021 New Holland 250. As a result, A. J. Allmendinger of Kaulig Racing would win the pole.[4]
Timmy Hill and Dillon Bassett would not have enough points based on the metric system to qualify for the race.
